A GROUP of youths smashed wing mirrors off several parked cars in Merseyside.

Police were called to Grasville Road, Birkenhead, around 7.45pm yesterday.

Officers spoke to residents and inquiries were today ongoing to identify the offenders.

The Hallowe’en incident followed Mischief Night on Sunday, which saw 49 people held by police – with many others handed on-the-spot fines.

Among them were two people held after police seized a haul of illegal bangers and “air-bombs”, a woman arrested after a window of a house in Rock Ferry was smashed and a man fined £80 after fireworks were thrown at buildings in Jackson Street, Garston.

A Merseyside police spokesman said: “We will not tolerate any criminal behaviour and robustly dealt with all those who crossed the line.”
